WitchNet is an Echo Mail Service, catering to the interests and needs of pagans today. Although the emphasis is in Wiccan ideas, all ideas and beliefs relating to paganism, witchcraft, or similar subjects are welcome The rules are short and quite simple as outlined below. Aliases: ======== Alias are allowed on the Host System. Subordinate Systems have the option of allowing aliases or not. Please don't make them obnoxious though . S/R's, Regionals, HUBS, Nodes: ============================== All member systems must be approved through P&PNet Administration. There are no exceptions to this rule. This is done by filling out and sending the attached application (WITCHNET.APP). To operate on any level higher that a node (that is all the rest), you are required to have all the conferences available on your BBS so that others my be allowed to echo mail from you. All BBSs with SuperRegional, Regional, Hub, or Node status (that means everyone) are required to carry the WN_ADMIN conference. There is a one-time lifetime fee of $10. Basically, the this is a miminal cost for operations and long distance fees for verification and newsletters. The NET is designed to allow everybody interested in Wicca or other pagan religions to chat with others with their interests and to share new ideas. Most of all WitchNet is designed to be a place to interact with others and to have fun! Conference Hosts: ================= Conference Host will basically have the easiest assignment of any network. The Hosts will ensure that no graphics or ASCII color codes are used in messages, that over quoting does not occur, and that taglines do not exceed the four line maximum. Also, fowl language is not really necessary to intellegently express one's self, and therefore, Hosts will screen and delete any offensive language. Anyone wishing to become a Conference Host should send a message addressed to Lord Lincoln within the WN_ADMIN conference. If a dispute arises in any conference, then WitchNet Administration, which consists of the two founders of the conference, will weigh the issues at hand and rendered the appropriate punishment as warranted by the infraction. However, it is the hope of WitchNet that this will never be necessary. Taglines and high ASCII characters: =================================== Lets not get to carried away with our taglines. 4 lines maximum please. No graphic designs/colors. WitchNet accepts several BBS program types to allow a maximum number of BBS to access it and not all are the same. Keep at least one tagline within this format: [WitchNet] - (BBS name) (city), (2 digit state) ((area) Phone #). Ex: [WitchNet] - House of Avalon Orem, UT (801) 225-6136. Private Messages: ================= Private messages are not to be entered in any conference except for the PRIVATE Conference. -==- This is because the limited capabilites that are a part of this type of EchoMail system. SysOps should configure these message conferences so that users will not be able to write private messages where they are not allowed. Language: ========= Please refrain from using fowl language. It is unbecoming and very unnecessary within the environment of WitchNet. Personal Attacks: ================= "An ye harm none, do what thou will." A great motto to live by! Please do not attack any individual on the net in any manner. Our ideas are those of love and peace. Also, since we claim the priviledge of living by our beliefs, we must allow others to do the same. Do not attack any dogma or creed of any other religious institution. ENOUGH SAID...... That is all the rules that I have right now. As time progresses, however, I do reserve the right to change and/or modify the rules as need arises. If there is an issue that you feel should be included in the rules or at least considered, please feel free to drop me a message. Blessed Be, Lord Lincoln
